Congrats 😊 did you receive online email notifications about each step, or just letters in the mail? when was your NOA2? 

No notification, just the letter. I had just applied for I-130 and am here in the US so no NOA2, straight interview letter.

Congrats

Folks, wanted to keep you informed. I received my interview call letter today. No change on the case status online.

couldn't agree more with you guys. I wish there was a method to this madness!

From what I learned earlier, service center play games with the dates to improve their performances. They are held accountable (to a certain degree) by congress for all the delays, so they jump ahead in the cases and then publish an average date they are working on to actually hide their lack of performance. It is what it is right now and it is only up to us to patiently wait or get frustrated. The outcome is not gonna change in either case. Good luck to all

I am disgusted, but this might be very true. Just checked few cases  from Nov and it feels you're spot on.

Congrats on the approvals!!🎉 Any more approvals today? PD Nov 16, 251 days wait 😬 Anyone with the same or earlier PD still waiting? I keep questioning whether there is something wrong with our application.. It's hard to not worry like that. 

Almost same, 250 days here and still waiting

I can't believe my case is approved really really very happy today. Thank you god.

hope you guys also hear good news soon

Congrats, does your application number end with 455? Got a notification from USCIS app today

While I believe all the applicants on or prior to Nov 15 priority date should definitely call USCIS to get more specific response, applicants post Nov 15 date unfortunately will still have to wait for another processing time update by USCIS before filing an enquiry. This is so damn frustrating!

Hey guys! I hope you are all receiving good news soon! I am November 7 PD date and still waiting... are more people from the beginning of November still waiting? Thank you and have a great day!

Have you had any update at all from USCIS? Like transfered, RF, background check or anything else?

Hi, they told my husband when he called around 15 days ago that after 30 days my case should "expire" and if we haven't heard anything by then, then call back. So that expiry date for my case would be at 253 days wait... 

But honestly over the course of this wait we have had so many different answers to our questions when we call.. I'm lost. 😔 We had one agent tell us the case was transferred to another service centre 4 weeks ago. The next time we called they said no that isn't true it never left Nebraska 😳. 

USCIS is a joke, more so Nebraska center. They got to be better at keeping people informed all times. 

This is getting frustrating now. Congratulations to all those Nov fillers who got approvals, but its hard to fathom why people from later NOA1 dates are addressed ahead. Doesn't make sense especially after this long wait.

Ah same!! Mine also says 9-19th of June and they still did not approve... I got this notification that my status was updated (Name on petition was changed) on June 14. I have no idea what that means but nothing happened since...

You might have been approved, as sometimes it take a while to send the physical letter or even update online. USCIS is notorious for messing things up.

Now the new processing times are out as of April 30th 2017.

Which means they have already spent almost 1.5 months on Nov cases. Still did not manage to address even half of the applications. This is like a crawl

Not entirely confident that people are updating their case status on time here.

Just saw a few Nov 10 applications get approved today.

Yes!!!! Approved!!! November 9 PD. Approved on June 2nd.

 

Don't lose hope. It will be your turn soon!!

Congrats! I see you mentioned your PD date is Nov 9, while your VJ timeline says it's Nov 15. Which one is the correct one? Thanks.

Did you filter by I-130? I filtered and only saw roughly 300 for my date.

Yes, I did filter by I-130 and also did not count the transferred cases. Of course my numbers are based on the USCIS updates. If they have not updated the transferred cases, then there might by anomalies.

All 700 in Nebraska.   ????   Where did u get this information from??

Case Tracker, used it to look up the cases. Can check 500 at one time.

My date is nov 25 and there are about 200 I-130 received that day.  ONe requested more info on May. 30.  So guess what. They looking at them now peeps. Use case tracker.  It's a bit useful

Based on your post, did a little research on the # of applications. Seems there are over 710 cases received by USCIS on Nov 17th. Not trying to scare anyone, but seems there can be some serious delay in handling Nov cases. Also not sure how many cases were filed in first half of Nov.

I understand because at times that feeling gets to me but it will past and your spirit will be renewed. Just take a day or two to regroup and refocus. Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the support!

I understand how you feel. That feeling will past. Think about it like this when Jesus was going to heal the king's daughter the woman with the issue of blood was healed when she touch Him. She was healed because Jesus passed her way. When people are getting approved on here I think of it as Jesus is in the neighborhood and soon He will be close enough for me to touch.  

My husband look at it this way He said the people asked about taxes and Jesus said the money that belong to Ceasar for taxes is for Ceasar. So He won't help you break the law and take as tithes what is due Ceasar.... So there is a process for this if the process says 6 of 7 months then that's how long it will take. When the time comes and we have waited just like everyone else we will be approved. Jesus will not help us to skip ahead of everyone else who has been waiting.... So being on here is a way to see how many people are still ahead of you til it is your turn. It is ok. We will be aporoved. Have faith our time will come.

Thanks for the support.

My anxiety levels are so high, I can't explain right now. Thinking of quitting VJ and all other apps I am following.
